Money line (ML)
Oakland is 3-1 over its last four games and 8-5 over its last 13. Athletics pitchers owned an 11-game 2.52 ERA until running into the Mariners in Monday’s series opener.
Seattle clocked a 13-4 win over Oakland Monday. The Mariners are 14-8 with an improved .732 OPS since Sept. 4. Their .688 OPS for the season ranks 26th in the league.
The Mariners are 13-4 over 17 games against the A’s. But peg Seattle as being overrated by its record. A 33-18 mark in 1-run games figures into that overall account.
With Oakland getting Bassitt in his second turn back, TAKE THE ATHLETICS -120.
